Why I chose Fondue

Fondue is comfort food. Several members of the angela adams team have happy childhood memories about fondue. Nan fondly remembers her family’s red fondue pot. Betsy remembers how her mom made birthdays special with annual fondue party for friends. Fondue is a fun meal to enjoy with friends!

Oh my gosh this looks good! Fondue on the beach…I never would have thought of that! I’m going to need to use some of these recipes. It’s “couples night” tonight, maybe it’s a good time to try some out!

I love Angela Adams. Her rugs are so beautiful, and I was excited when she expanded to bags, glassware and the works.
That Fondue looks good….maybe I’ll indulge in some this evening esp. with all this snow in NY.

I love these photos. And a fondue picnic on the beach is such a marvelous idea. I’m really enjoying your “In The Kitchen With” series. Beautiful design, interesting people, and delicious food – it’s a perfect combination!

Heya!
Fun to read your comments gang. We had a lot of fun doing this so hope you all do as well. Emily, the sweater is vintage and I believe it was knit in Norway. I will double check. I like the seaweed color of it. Happy fondue-ing everyone!
